Re: The Miles Solution (?)
hey, get this..
Larry Coon (you know, the guy who writes the FAQ for the CBA for the *nba*) had this to say about what Canzano implied.

Nope, nothing like that exists. Teams can petition the league
to have salary of players who RETIRED for medical reasons removed
from the cap, after a one-year waiting period.
The only other possibility is conditionally guaranteed salary, but
I see no conditional guarantees for the entire Portland team.

im a miles fan...but i gotta say...after reading the full article (i did not do so previously) i understand your stance.
i think he will play, but it wont be soon and it may not be much. I can see our GM's eyes lighting up with that 41-game loophole. 
DAMMIT! we are reaaaaaally going to suck without darius.
honestly, we may have a 15 win season.

It's not just the article.
I'll say this. I... know... certain people that are privy to certain tid-bits of info in regards to the Blazers... That's where my opinion comes from.
I can't give any more details with out fear of risking my job, so I won't.
It's not set in concrete, but it sure seems like Miles might not play a minute this year.

Sounds like the only reasonable choice

Re: The Miles Solution (?)
Miles is not only playing tonight . . . he is starting.
"In a surprise move, coach Jerry Sloan announced he will start Miles at shooting guard in Wednesday's season opener, the Salt Lake Tribune reports."
